Before I get onto today's post, we've reached over 20,000 visitors to this blog, yayyyyyyyyyyy. Thank you everyone.
To celebrate here's a little candy which I will hold open for one week. Just make sure you are a follower of this blog and leave a commentbelow and I will choose a winner. That's it, easy :)

Do you love strawberries and cream, yum yum I do. Very different for me but I love how this has turned out. As the image was all about strawberries I have used the Dutch Doobadoo stencil and made up the strawberry gift box to go with the card.

I used the Dutch Doobadoo Flower Stencil and Structure paste to create the pattern on paper, top left.

I added a little chunky white frantage to the image.

I added a couple of different vintage flourish leaf's, links at the bottom.

I have added vintage flourish diecut leafs.

The little softwood bricks are also covered with structure paste.

I first added shabby white frantage to the Dutch Doobadoo "Hello Sunshine" and then I stippled some structure paste for texture.

Across the top you will notice a kraft border which I painted with gesso.

Another kraft border painted with white gesso down the left hand side.

Here's my strawberry gift box which opens when you untie the bow.

I made the green leaf and then added an inner leaf made out the matching paper. The lacy edge was created using a Dutch Doobadoo kraft border painted with gesso.

The Especially For You is from the English Banner Text Stamp Set which matches the Banner Die. This embosses beautifully as you can see.
